A wonderful fable inspired by an old Swahili legend reminds us of the
importance of taking responsibility for our actions.
Kuku the chicken and Mwewe the eagle have been the very best of friends
their entire lives. Kuku was very vain, and every year when Spring
arrived, she would go to the city to buy a kitenge so elegant that
everyone in the village would admire her. But one day, she walked
merrily across the savannah, she didn't realize that the dress had got
caught on the branch of a mgunga until suddenly she heard... RRRRIP! Sad
to see that her new dress was ruined, Kuku begs Mwewe to let her borrow
a needle that is also a family heirloom. Mwewe reluctantly lends her
friend the needle that belonged to their ancestors, trusting her to care
for it like the cherished possession it is, on one condition: she must
bring it back.
